If you'd like, I'll send you an email full of spoilers.
Heh, I appreciate the offer, but seeing as it's a Stephenson book, I'm almost guaranteed to want to read it, so I shall politely decline

Oh, and I'm in the middle of Reamde right now and it's a blast.
Wow, how are you in the middle of a book that's not released yet? At least the release date on Amazon says sometime in September. Also, how does it compare so far to Stephenson's previous stuff?
Submission + - UK newspaper web sites to become nearly invisible
smooth wombat writes: Various web sites have tried to make readers pay for access to select parts of their sites. Now, in a bid to counter what he claims is theft of his material, Rupert Murdoch's Times and Sunday Times web sites will become essentially invisible to web users. Except for their homepages, no stories will show up on Google.
Starting in late June, Google and other search engines will be prevented from indexing and linking to stories. Registered users will still get free access until the cut off date.

PHP5 CMS Framework Development 72
Michael J. Ross writes "Most Web developers are familiar with one or more content management systems (CMSs), and how they can be used to create Web sites more efficiently than by hand. These developers may have deep knowledge of how to install, configure, customize, and extend a CMS. But far more rare is knowledge of how to develop a CMS of one's own, and the programming considerations required to do so successfully. These are the main themes of Martin Brampton's book PHP5 CMS Framework Development." Read below for the rest of Michael's review.

Qutrits with optics is cool, but is the quantum computer just around the corner? Most definitely not! Optics are great for communicating quantum information, not so much for storing them. Quantum memory needs solid state technology, and while some promising results have been reported using diamonds by researchers at Harvard and other places, the quantum computer is still many many years, maybe even decades away. TFA is overhyped, as seems to be the case with all articles reporting quantum computing breakthroughs!
